RE: [BlindHandyMan] Garbage Disposal Question
Victor, I've heard the same thing and I think it is a product of energy conservation rather than functionality. Personally I like hot water for the very reasons you cite below Al -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com]on Behalf Of Victor Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 8:09 PM To: Blind Handyman Listserv Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Garbage Disposal Question Hi Folks, I was told today, by a friend, that you should use cold water when running a garbage disposal and not hot or warm water. Is this true or not, and if it is, why? I would think that the hot or warm water would soften anything that goes down the drain and what not, and would actually loosen the gunk up so it goes easier on the disposal. Is my logic flawed here?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Garbage Disposal Question
Hi Victor; I have been told to use cold water so that it will more or less chill whatever is in the disposal and therefore the blades will cut the stuff easier. Then you can run hot water to flush the drain. This way does work very well especially for cutting up things like carrot and potato peelings. Take care.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Garbage Disposal Question
I've always used hot water and never heard to only use cold. My guess would be the swelling of junk going down the drain. I haven't read the manual that came with mine, I don't even know if I have one for it any longer. Have you ever been told not to grind fibrous things?
